Article Synopsis
- This study examines the effectiveness of two methods, rotary and oscillatory, for extracting hair grafts in follicular unit extraction (FUE) surgery using a sample of 15 patients.
- The results showed that while both methods yielded a similar average number of hairs per graft, the oscillatory method had a significantly higher total yield rate, especially in cases with soft scalps or deeper punch requirements.
- The research suggests that the oscillatory punch method is preferable in certain conditions, and emphasizes the importance of structured guidelines to enhance graft quality and minimize complications.
